Who are these “Undecided” Voters?

If this were an election between “Maverick” McCain and “Moderate” Bill Clinton, I could understand these late hold outs better but the difference between McCain and the most liberal politician to ever show up on a November ballot is puzzling in deed.

National Review has a great piece:

Here’s humorist David Sedaris in that bastion of sophistication, The New Yorker, on undecided voters:

To put them in perspective, I think of being on an airplane. The flight attendant comes down the aisle with her food cart and, eventually, parks it beside my seat. “Can I interest you in the chicken?” she asks. “Or would you prefer the platter of s—t with bits of broken glass in it?”

To be undecided in this election is to pause for a moment and then ask how the chicken is cooked.

This is a great analogy.

Most conservatives view John McCain about as favorably as most people view airline food (myself included) but the alternative is … well you know what it is, with bits of broken glass in it.
